Other than a small part of the Pacific North West coastline, which
is not where the grasses will be grown for seed, that is not so.
If you disagree, please name some such places.////////////you have it
pretty much correct///////even on Cape Cod, with what we call a maratime
type of climate, the overall conditions differ greatly from over
there......we rarely have what I call a spring tho...more often than not it
goes from winterish weather to summer almost "overnight"....it is made up
tho by our long fall season. The Cape is 95 percent surrounded by the
sea.......in the summer time around August the sea temp. gets into the mid
20's C and does not reach its lowest temp. until around the end of
February.......current sea temp. around the Cape is plus 1/2 degree C. The
"average" night time winter temp is around the minus 7 C with a few nights
going down to the minus 17 degree C.........inland from here and by as
little as 25 miles or so the winter temp. will drop down to as low as minus
30 degrees C..........in spite of this I noticed yesterday the daffodils are
finally poking their noses thru the soil......oh, to be in England when
spring arrives.
